As we get older we learn that this story about pilgrims and Native Americans is a bit of a fable, but the idea behind Thanksgiving remains the same: it’s a wonderful tradition of sharing a grand feast with new friends and old friends, and expressing thanks for our good fortune and for each other. This is America’s favorite holiday (next to Christmas) and we love to introduce recent immigrants to this tradition. If there are new colleagues or neighbors who don’t live close to their family, they will always receive many invitations from acquaintances. (далее…)
